These large eye heddles are available in either 9.5", 10.5" or 12.5" in length and are plated to prevent corrosion. They have a large inserted eye for ease of threading and are especially useful when used with very heavy yarns or with fine yarns that break easily. They are all priced the same, but please remember to select the length required in the drop down box.

 

Comes in a bundle of 200.

 

Contact us for any queries related to heddle lengths required for your loom.  If unsure measure an existing heddle length including the end loops.

Generally:

Harrisville looms required 10.5"

Schacht looms require 9.5"

AVL looms require 12.5"

 

Our practical advice on conversion from Texsolv to Metal

  • Heddle bars: Check whether your heddle bars (top and bottom of the shaft frame) are flat or wire rods. Texsolv can fit on both, but metal heddles usually need smooth round rods or flat steel bars. If your loom uses thin wooden dowels, metal heddles may not slide properly.

  • If you have a small or medium Scandinavian-style loom → stick with Texsolv (the loom was designed for them).

  • If you have a heavy jack loom, countermarch, or older floor loom with sturdy shaft frames → metal heddles can be a great upgrade, especially if you want a sharper shed or thread mostly with heavier warps.

  • Before buying, check your loom’s manual or heddle bar type to make sure metal heddles will slide properly.

 

Mixing heddles

It’s not recommended to mix Texsolv and metal heddles on the same shaft — they hang at different lengths and create uneven sheds. If you switch, do it per shaft or ideally the whole loom.
